DAVAO CITY — The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP)-Davao has vowed to intensify security measures to prevent individuals from sneaking illegal drugs into the Davao City Jail in Barangay Ma-a after authorities recovered several sachets of suspected shabu using a drone and the other by hiding them in a “chicken-pork adobo” last Monday and Tuesday, respectively.
BJMP-Davao spokesperson JInsp. Edo Lobenia said that 15 sachets containing suspected crystal methamphetamine were intercepted after jail guards inspected the “chicken-adobo” during a “paabot” activity at the Davao City Jail-Annex.
The illegal drugs, with an estimated value of P32,000, were inserted in the slabs of meat.
Also, the BJMP-Davao said that a barangay councilor of Barangay Ma-a reported to Talomo Police Station 3 last Monday that a drone with camera was spotted hovering near the city jail at Purok 25-B, People’s Village, Ma-a.
When the drone was recovered, authorities found three pieces of heat sealed transparent plastic sachets containing an estimated 25-gram shabu with a street value of P400,000.
“The BJMP will continue to be vigilant in securing our facilities to assure that all Persons Deprived of Liberty under our care will be detained according to the standards set about by the laws,” the BJMP-Davao said.
